41. Sun-Kissed Dark Blonde Streaks
For a sun-kissed look, the secret is adding a variety of dark blonde and caramel shades in thinner streaks, with the occasional horizontal touch for a bit of randomness. The final effect is natural, despite the high contrast with the dark base.
42. Dark Blonde to Pearl Gradient
If you can’t decide between dark blonde and platinum, why not just rock both? The effect ends up being pearly thanks to the gradient from dark blonde to super light blonde, and as always, the deeper roots keep things grounded.
43. Intense Dark Blonde Waves
When you’re not afraid of making a big change, a heavy and intense dark blonde balayage is nothing to be afraid of. This warm take on dark blonde has some color variation in it, and if you’re committed to going full blonde, it can be a great step in the transition.
44. Molten Gold Balayage
The secret to melted gold effect of these stunning warm dark blonde waves is simple – it’s all about the health of the hair! Hair oil and a lot of moisture are a must to get freshly dyed hair to emanate so much gleam.
45. The Modern “Rachel”
Any “Friends” fans in our audience? This dark blonde hair was styled into a modern take on Jennifer Aniston’s ‘90s haircut, with face-framing strands cut shorter to flatter the features. The touches of dark blonde were added with the haircut in mind, which makes this look feel extra modern and intentional.
46. Platinum-Touched Dark Blonde Hair
Just a touch of platinum can feel very special nestled into a dark blonde balayage. It’s just one streak, but it adds lightness to the face without the potential damage of going platinum all over, not to mention that it feels a little bit more natural.
47. Dark Blonde Hair with Slim Streaks
High contrast streaks are a great way to rock dark blonde hair in this day and age, especially when the streaks are applied thinly. The final result ends up being very textured and chic, as you can see in this long, wavy look.
48. Dark Blonde Bombshell
Everyone dreams, at least once, of being that blonde femme fatale, but you don’t need to do anything drastic to achieve that look! Golden streaks along the front of the hair do all the heavy lifting, while a soft dark blonde balayage over the rest of the hair marries everything together.
49. Platinum-Streaked Dark Blonde
There are dozens of different ways of combining dark brown, dark blonde, and platinum in streaked hairstyles to achieve magnificent results, and this is just one of them. Thicker streaks of dark blonde with thinner streaks of platinum make for a varied, high-contrast look.
50. Honey Wash Balayage
Another way of rocking dark blonde hair with minimal effort is with a wash of warm honey blonde over medium brown hair. This is a variation on a balayage that keeps the outer part of the hair dyed, even though the streaks all consistently start fairly high near the roots.
